This was a cartoon I did last May about the amazing Ubaldo Jimenez.
I had the chance to see Ubaldo pitch recently at Coors Field against the Braves. His stuff that night was electric. I guess not electric enough to keep him off of the trading block. He will be missed. The Rox picked up some good prospects which is always helpful, but it’s still hard to see such a great pitcher get traded. More details about the deal can be found here: http://www.denverpost.com/rockies/ci_18591786 and a great column by my old friend from the Rocky Mountain News, Mr. Dave Krieger

I added the Caption Contest in the sidebar and you can continue to add your caption entries by clicking right on the cartoon!

Sometimes an image just happens. This is a long overdue tribute to the amazing Ubaldo Jimenez who happens to be, right now, the best pitcher in baseball. For the Rockies. I know . Two sentences we never thought we’d ever see in our lifetimes. Anyway, here’s to greatness in our midst. Cherish it. Pitchers like him come along about as often as John Elway.

A Historic Weekend
From Ubaldo Jimenez to The Colorado Avalanche to Carmelo Anthony’s performance in round one of the NBA playoffs it was a Colorado weekend to remember. It feels a bit strange not being tethered these days to a daily local paper in Denver beyond the blog. Especially given this weekends incredible string of events. Doing the local Denver cartoons has always been my favorite part of drawing sports cartoons. It all makes me very thankful for each one of you who continue to give me your support by stopping by here in your travels through cyberspace. Soo…How-a-bout that Ubaldo!!
